Faces of Airbus

Ye, Supply Chain and Quality Manager

Born in China and raised in Germany, Ye has a bicultural background. She loves Airbus for its dynamic and diversity. Ye joined Airbus in 2009, she is responsible for major airframe components and works on many transfers, improvement projects at key Airbus suppliers covering activities requiring various skills: “We coordinate cross-functionally, monitor and drive changes at our suppliers to contribute to development and mitigate industrial risks. We work by targeting operational excellence through continuous improvement in everything we do.”

Airbus promotes equal opportunities and supports people with both visible and non-visible (dis)ability. Different initiatives across the company are aimed at boosting awareness and above all encouraging dialogue on the important contribution employees with disabilities make to the company every day. Following the International Day of Persons with Disability, six apprentices and dual students share their experiences working in an inclusive environment at Airbus.

As a part of the Digital Transformation project, Marie focuses on the company’s business and its culture transformation. “What I loved about joining this team is that we all have the same ambition to transform the ways of working thanks to the digital tools we are developing!” Marie’s goal is to help Airbus employees flourish and be happy at work. To make it possible, she acts as an energizer of the company: “I am glad to contribute to create a better working environment”.

Marcus helps protect our company and our customers, working on Vulnerability Assessment/Management, IOC-Sharing, Threat Intelligence and Incident Response. “I very much enjoy the direct contact and support of internal and external customers. This gives me the chance to work on a variety of topics as a Cyber Security Analyst – from finding a company’s malware breakout, to detecting Internet abuse for illegal activities or analyzing millions of loglines to find that “one bad actor”, using diverse tools and techniques.”

"Diversity is one of my favourite aspects about working at Airbus. There are 130 nationalities in this company so it's impossible not to make friends from every corner of the world. I really enjoy the enriching experience of working with people from diverse backgrounds"

"The digitalisation of the shopfloor is undoubtedly a key factor capable of providing important improvements in relation to quality, efficiency, costs and the product" says María. Her goal is to incorporate digitalisation at the production plants of all the Airbus divisions. To get the real shopfloor experience she put on a set of overalls and spent a week there working with the operators. "You don't really understand what their work is all about until you put yourself in their position".

Dennis, who we met here at Gamescom in Cologne, will start his dual studies programme on flight and vehicle computer science in Manching, Germany. If you're a student or graduate, visit our Careers website to find what opportunities await you.

Marion began as a VIE at Airbus Helicopters in Canada, about a year ago she started working as a Sales Contracts Negotiator in Toulouse. “Facing the customer is challenging. It is about finding the right solutions for your customers businesswise while assessing and measuring the risks and the exposure for your company”. Her job allows her to travel around the world, her last 3 destinations? Fiji, Oslo and Stockholm.

It’s in July 2017 that Airbus China Innovation Centre (ACIC) was established in Shenzhen. The objective now is to grow the team. The ACIC's goals are to develop a hardware lab that uses the unique eco-system in Shenzhen to design parts quickly and at low cost, they also aim to improve the passenger experience through new business models and new hardware including consumer electronics, virtual reality and augmented reality. To achieve these goals, people are needed to deliver the first wave of projects. Candidates’ profiles need to be tech savvy, but they also have to work fast and be very commercially minded.

“When you are involved in such strategic, pioneering projects, it’s nothing short of inspiring; this is what drives me day in, day out. I want to contribute in the enhancement of our product portfolio, and be the best…” Our main mission is to speed up the projects that we host in the incubator by providing services and building the right connections with potential customers in order to get their operational feedback to drive the project towards their needs, and aligned with our strategy.
